Yes it is.

To be placed back in the Support Group you will need to show that you meet one of more SG Descriptors. If you can show this then you will need to request an MR as you have done for your PIP.
Do you know how you qualified before?
Being in the WRAG means that you are now required to attend Work Focused Interviews and can be asked to perform Work Related Activity, there is a list of activities that you might be asked to do in the ESA Claim guides. You can also be forwarded to the Work Programme or it's replacement.
You need to be aware that some activities can be mandatory and you benefits can be sanctioned if you fail to comply, however any activity that you are asked to do must take into account any limitations that result from your conditions.
